R June 30, 1967 TO: JIM GARRISON, District Attorney FROM: TOM BETHELL MICHAEL HADLEY 1329 St. Andrew Street, called at 1:30 P. M. and advised that he had knowledge to the effect that GENE DAVIS was lying when he said he did not know LEE HARVEY OSWALD. His reason for saying this was that a friend of his, whose name he wouldnotdisclose ("X") used to go out drinking with DAVIS, and in the course of his acquaintance with DAVIS he (X) saw DAVIS with OSWALD in early 1962 (when OSWALD was still in Russia) HADLEY said that "X" had a grudge against DAVIS and for this reason "X" wants to see DAVIS get what's coming to him. For this reason and bearing in mind that the caller was obviously unaware that OSWALD was in Russia at this time, (he stressed he was positive it was early 1962) I do not imagine that there is anything more than a personal vendetta to this story. MR. HADLEY called again at 2:00 P. M. and said that "X" does not want to discuss this matter any further at present, and as he, HADLEY, had no further information, he does not want us to approach him further on it unless he calls again.
